throwing a frog

[rrebello]

I have one of these frogs (not a spro frog) more of a cheapie and whenever I cast it it seems to never land on its stomach..is there a trick to this??

What make is it?
I only have the spro's and they land on their stomach everytime they hit the water, doesnt how or where i cast them.
Maybe you can somehow put a small split shot on the stomach to try make it land stomach first?

Is it normal for the spro to take on water every 5 or so throws, or are mine defective?

oh, and with the normal frog you got, are you using normal bass hooks or the special frog hooks. They screw into the head of the frog and then you skin hook the point into the back of the frog. Zoom makes these hooks for about R25 for a pack of two, well that's what I got them for... But not sure how important the floating side is. I would think that as long as the profile is visible, it should work.

Mine sometimes take on water. I have found that the older they get the faster they take on water, think that hole for the hooks gets a bit warn.

It tears open on the bottom between the two hooks, so I just glue the two sides together wit a bit of super glue.

bud take a thumb tack, a soldering iron and some soldering wire, face the thumb tack spike upwards cut the spkie off and clean the underside of the hood with some steel wool, now solder some wire into the indentation wait for it to cool, stick it onto the frog 3/4s from the front with some serious superglue and that should have it bellyflopping like the monsters that falls through JasonG's seat on his pontoon boat.... addawaaais go and buys for yourself that frogs of "spro"
